What's inside Wangze Tech

  1. Configure automatic plugin updates for Linux

    Install the OhMyZsh-full-autoupdate plugin to automatically keep your Zsh plugins updated on Linux systems.
    cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins
git clone https://github.com/Pilaton/OhMyZsh-full-autoupdate.git

# Add to ~/.zshrc
plugins=(... ohmyzsh-full-autoupdate)

  2. Manage multiple PHP versions on macOS

    Install specific PHP versions using Homebrew and switch between them by unlinking the current version and linking the target version.
    # Install versions
brew install php@8.2
brew install shivammathur/php/php@7.4

# Switch to PHP 8.2
brew unlink php
brew unlink php@8.2
brew link --force --overwrite php@8.2

  5. Install Oh My Zsh

    Install the Oh My Zsh framework using the official installation script via curl.
    sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

  6. Manage multiple PHP versions with Homebrew

    Install specific PHP versions and use the unlink and link commands to switch between them.
    # Install versions
brew install php@8.2
brew install shivammathur/php/php@7.4

# Switch to PHP 8.2
brew unlink php
brew unlink php@8.2
brew link --force --overwrite php@8.2

  7. Install and manage Claude Code via Bun

    Use the Bun runtime to install and update the Claude Code CLI tool globally.
    # Install Bun
curl -fsSL https://bun.com/install | bash

# Install/Update Claude Code
bun add -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

  8. Set Zsh as the default shell

    Change the default system shell to Zsh. If the chsh command is unavailable, you can manually edit /etc/passwd or append the shell execution command to your .bash_profile to launch Zsh automatically.
    # Standard method
chsh -s /bin/zsh

# Alternative: Add to ~/.bash_profile if chsh is missing
export SHELL=/bin/zsh
exec /bin/zsh -l

  9. Install and enable Zsh plugins

    Install plugins like fast-syntax-highlighting and zsh-autosuggestions. On Linux, clone the repositories into the Oh My Zsh custom plugins directory. On macOS, use Homebrew. After installation, add the plugin names to the plugins array in your ~/.zshrc file.
    # Linux installation
cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins
git clone https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting.git
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions.git

# macOS installation
brew install zsh-fast-syntax-highlighting
brew install zsh-autosuggestions

# Enable in ~/.zshrc
plugins=(git z zsh-autosuggestions fast-syntax-highlighting)

  10. Install and configure Zsh as the default shell

    Install Zsh and set it as the default system shell. If the chsh command is unavailable, manually edit /etc/passwd or add execution logic to .bash_profile.
    # Check available shells
chsh -l
cat /etc/shells

# Installation
# Ubuntu
sudo apt install zsh -y
# Centos
sudo yum install zsh -y
# Mac
brew install zsh

# Set as default shell
chsh -s /bin/zsh

# Alternative if chsh is missing: add to .bash_profile
export SHELL=/bin/zsh
exec /bin/zsh -l

  11. Install and update macOS software via Homebrew

    Use Homebrew to install CLI tools and Cask applications. To keep all Cask applications updated, use the buo/cask-upgrade tap.
    # Install Homebrew (from brew.sh)

# Setup Cask upgrade utility
brew tap buo/cask-upgrade

# One-command update for all brew packages and casks
brew update && brew upgrade && brew cu -y --cleanup && brew cleanup && brew doctor && brew autoremove

# Example tool installations
brew install fd ripgrep fnm gh go
brew install --cask docker-desktop visual-studio-code raycast

  12. Install and update software using Homebrew on macOS

    Homebrew is the primary package manager for macOS. Use brew install for CLI tools and brew install --cask for GUI applications. To keep all casks updated, use the cask-upgrade tap.
    # Install Homebrew first from https://brew.sh/

# Enable cask upgrade functionality
brew tap buo/cask-upgrade

# One-command update for all brew packages and casks
brew update && brew upgrade && brew cu -y --cleanup && brew cleanup && brew doctor && brew autoremove

# Example: Install a GUI app
brew install --cask apifox

# Example: Install CLI tools
brew install fd ripgrep
